Not - an advocacy or safety issue?

Just wonder why the helmet thread was relocated to road cycling.

Is this an indication the Mods don't consider helmet use and advocacy, or safety issue?

I can see how roadies would want to discuss helmets, but I can't see how helmets are not an advocacy or safety issue.

That thread has been on this sub-forum for over 6 years. Now it's not? I'm curious as to why.

It belongs in the professional racing forum, since they and a few odd towns are the only ones who are mandated to wearing them.

Yeah. Good one.

I feel for you. You have a mandatory helmet law and I have mandatory bike lane and bike registration laws.

the silver lining of our helmet law was an agreement to scrap our mandatory side-path law. Bike registration was discontinued some 10 years before our MHL.

I see the thread is back to A&S this morning. Good news. My beef with those who insist on helmet use relates to A&S, not road riding.

No, it's an indication that the mods have decided that cruel and unusual punishment is appropriate for roadies.

I get the "what a dip Sh@t look when I ride in some parts of my town with my helmet. So I'm a dork! At least I may have some brains left following a steel/asphalt/cement impact!

doubtful...you have to have them in the first place to have any left.

I wonder if I still have it in me to cut into a new audience. And roadies at that...

We saw the thread was from A&S and rejected it. They had to return it to the sender.

That's good. Road cycling has almost nothing to do with either advocacy or safety.
